OK I didn't know. I think it just adds some confusion to the organisation, but I will probably get used to it. Then, maybe it is time to do the same thing for Crypt directory and the others. I don't understand how you will manage packages like HTTP for example. HTTP_HTTP/ ? or just HTTP/ ? and if there is a http_compress class where will it go ? in HTTP/HTTP_Compress/ or just HTTP/? What was clear before is now confusing. Are all the packages in pear directory classified this way or only a part of them ? Maybe it is time to start on a good directory structure before people start to add new extensions. >> And finally, are we going to have a global XML file with details on all PEAR >> extensions (a bit like package.xml) ?

Don't you have a more precise date? At what times the cron task will happen? Where can I find this global package.xml file ? It is not urgent but I would be glad to know.
